Rachmaninoff is a peak-ring impact crater on Mercury. This basin first imaged in its entirety during MESSENGER’s third Mercury flyby was quickly identified as a feature of high scientific interest because of its fresh appearance its distinctively colored interior plains and the extensional troughs on its floor. The morphology of Rachmaninoff is similar to that of Raditladi which is one of the youngest impact basins on Mercury. The age of Raditladi is estimated at one billion years.
